Updating prior coverage, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman formally filed charges on December 17, 2025, against Nick Reiner for the December 14 stabbing deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner and producer Michele Reiner. The 32-year-old faces two counts of first-degree murder with a multiple-victim special circumstance, enhancing penalties to potentially include the death penalty.
Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, former president of the American Psychiatric Association, appeared on TMZ Live to slam the rehab centers that treated Rob and Michele Reiner's son Nick, calling them scams that failed to provide proper care. Nick, who struggled with substance abuse and possible schizophrenia, cycled through at least 18 facilities before allegedly murdering his parents. Lieberman highlights the lack of aftercare and stringent laws that hinder effective treatment.
